He is nuisance value that every mid table team needs its like bing inspired to paint with shat looks ok from a distance get close up and it stinks
good to see Dom back we look much more effective going long cos this team don't play football

Too small to lead the line on his own

Could see him and DCL in a partnership at times.

He gets zero service. 2 games where he did (West Ham and the RS) he scored and should've scored.

He's not good enough mate. With very good service at Brighton he got 7 goals. ?‍

Was always going to struggle because... He isn't good enough. Was criminal of Thelwell and Lampard to just bring this guy in to help the attack

Richy averaged 3 more goals a season with 10 and he cost £50mill.

We aren't going to get a 10 goal a season striker unless we're spending £30+mill. And even then they'd struggle with the lack of creativity from Gordon and Gray.

Maupay is our level. You give him service he scores. We don't.

Richarlison does a lot more than poach goals, and you know it.

Hopefully, DCL9 will stay fit and Maupay can just be an option from the bench.

The West Ham game was an example of how he can offer something different, but his limitations are quickly exposed when he's in from the start.

Of course but the point is that just getting "5-7 goals" is what we paid for. If we're paying double we should expect more.

Yeah he rolls around and feign's injury too

Fuming with him. I can't understand why the 5ft8 player didn't get on the end of the crosses that went 20ft over his head (or out of play)

But I'm especially annoyed that he didn't get the ball in midfield, turn and take on an entire defence and score. Lazy.

I get tosun vibes at times

Nah no chance. He’s left absolutely isolated and had nobody anywhere near him all game.

A bit like DCL, Richie last season or any centre forward really, if the support and service is that poor, it’s hard to judge the forward. Thankless task and we need to get better at creating chances, getting players around him or DCL.
